clinton and another bush. it's magic. i tell you. that's it for us tonight. stay tuned for cavuto. good night from new york. neil: hey, vladimir putin, ain't karma a bitch? your evil empire is collapsing fast. his russia ruble is toast. his country's live blood is slipping away. his billionaire buddies are losing their shirts. what is a thumb your nose despot to do? not much. not even jacking up interest rates to 70% from 10.5% has made the russian ruble any more attractive or putin's position any less precarious. the ruble is still tanking. his market is still tanking. his economy is still tanking. my buddy steve moore is right, putin himself could be tanking.

steve, whatever he does is a temporary band-aid. right? >> the question is whether he can politically withstand this. he was a hooray year hero a year ago. the ruble has fallen 50 50%. neil: it's only going to briefly cut it. >> it will help him a little bit. here's the thing, even at 17% interest rates people aren't buying russian bonds. neil: what is their big scare in the oil started it. it seems to have compounded it. >> russia in the last 20 years has been an oil and gas economy. not much else going on in russia, other than that. look, we're now almost 50% lower in price than we were early this summer. i mean, that just takes all the money out of the russian economy. neil: what happens to vladimir putin, who himself is a

millionaire. but he is seeing that eevaporate as are a lot of his buddies. what is happening? >> he's been popular. and the question is whether he can withstand this. i have skepticism as well. the worst is to come. these prices won't shoot back any time soon. they've been $55 or so today. neil: so the level of which -- >> in the soviet union days, when you had lines to get bread, i think you're headed back in that direction. in the opposite side of the world, the united states is tremendously benefiting. i get so annoyed when i see these reports about, oh, this is hurting the stock market. maybe in the short-term, obviously it hurts the energy market. my goodness, think about transportation. high-tech industries. they do well. it's like a stimulus. i've always said, i said this on your show maybe six months ago.

you really want to pound a nail into putin and opec's coffin. drill, drill, drill here. this is the start of what is going on. everyone is talking about the saudis. what started this was the shale, oil revolution. neil: anything that makes his life more difficult is a good development. >> we need more pipelines. neil: merry christmas. we will chat again. be aware former leaders. they are a lot like wounded animals, very dangerous. how so, david? >> well, you know, it was easy for putin to ignore the international community and the un when they tried to stop him from supporting has said in syria, it was easy for him to ignore the west, it's much harder for him to ignore the economic woes that his country now faces. and yet he may still do so. he likely will do everything he can to blame every other

country in the world, other than his own policies for the economic woes. neil: what would he do to make us scared? they always say rabbit, raccoon is very dangerous pinned in the corner. he would be analogous to that. what would he do to try to flail and save himself? >> sure. he's like a wounded dog. he could be strident. neil: you picked your animal. >> in the gays o face of these economic woes. he could turn up the pressure in the ukraine. it's very hot there. supporting the separatists. very easy for him to create more violence and more confrontation. he could do something in the baltic states. he suggested he needed to protect the russia-speaking communities in the baltic states. that would be very, very incendiary. the baltic states are part of nato. nato has a treaty

obligation to protect those countries from intervention. it's not quite clear what nato allies would do. they have to do something. neil: normally leaders when they're under duress do something as a distraction. wars are a distraction. i don't mean to be flippant, but could it escalate to that? >> probably looking for some distraction. baltic states. ukraine. could look to the middle east. step up his support for has said. haassad has turned the tied. if he helped assad more, that would anger the allies. this could get worse before it gets better. neil: what perfect timing because it's that time of year. now to the nominees for russia's man of the year. as decided freely by the

russian people themselves. for outstanding performance if not slightly intimidating leader who makes you think twice about ever picking anyone else, the nominees this year are vladimir putin, president vladimir putin and former kbb spy vladimir putin. and the winner is maybe. there you go. oh, my god. vladimir putin. and putting up the votes. the russian president snagging 58% of those votes. now in case you're counting, this is the 15th year in a row old lad has grabbed russian's man of the year title. tracy, what a shocker. i'm so glad --

>> if anyone office the fence, that photo with him shirtless, put a vote in his corner. neil: how do you get votes like that? i think you want to vote for me. >> these are the same people when they polled who should be man of the year, they were asked to name an important artist and scientist, they couldn't. these polls are screwy, much like a lot of things there. neil: you're not calling them into question. the odds someone wins 15 years in a row. >> without his shirton a horse. neil: he was a little charlton heston, but that was just me. >> i'll never forget that photo either. he's got a crumbling economy. the currency is falling through the floor. if that's the criteria for winning, you know, favorite politician, that's kind of scary. what's the criteria for being the worst politician? neil: well, scott, when was this voting done?

do we know? with all of russia falling apart, lo and behold we have all the awards. >> we never know when anything is done in russia. that's for sure. what's scary, some of the reports showing the approval rating and the rating for vladimir putin has gone up. you're talking about a 20% at the very low today plunge in the russian ruble. the poor russians are buying anything they can get their hands on places that will take their money. cars, food, furniture they can't buy tomorrow. remember, they're giving people this message that, hey, everything is under control. we got this. don't worry about us. if you turn on us, we'll probably kill you. neil: not like north korea, he won reelection with 100% of the

votes. sixty-eight, 70% i can see, 100%? >> the whole thing is real. no smoke and mirrors in russia. scott makes a great point. declining oil prices. fighting over cheese because they can't get it. you have to wonder how long this man of the year will continue. >> the fear factor for some people when they vote. we're joking around. perhaps there's a percentage of people there who want to go back to the good old days of the ssr. neil: he brought them there. they're the ones leading in space right now. they're doing all the things getting the attention. >> close to 70% of their federal revenue comes from oil and gas. he doesn't have a rabbit up his sleeve. neil: that could be the same 70% that voted here. >> don't forget, vladimir putin isn't feeling this. they have money overseas. money in currency not being affected by this like his countrymen.

neil: it's melting away. i left out the nominees of anchor of the century. this is not about me. walter, please, stand down. sorry. forget jeb, is donald in for 2016. trump on trump is next ♪ (holiday music is playing)

>> are you considering maybe getting into politics as candidate running for president? >> i'm considering it very strongly. a lot of people think i have fun with it, that i'm playing games, that i enjoy the process. and i do enjoy the process to a certain extent. but the country is in serious, serious trouble. neil: here's why i don't believe it. he's donald trump. would he seriously want to move to a smaller

house, the white house? let's ask his son. great family. all the kids. trump eric trump. just got married. >> the last one. held out as long as you could. what is dad saying? he toyed with it years ago. hinted at it in 2008. i wonder if he's serious. >> he's the greatest patriot. he loves america. he's very sad with the direction of this country. $18 trillion of debt. adding trillions of national debt. we have a health system broken. we have isis cutting off our heads. he's just fed up. neil: what would he have to offer to fix that? better good at real estate, bette really good at raising money. >> everything he touched turned to gold. neil: certainly brass. >> he's incredible. the infrastructure in the country, every

single time i go through the airport, i travel through the world. i see tile ceilings -- neil: that implies you're flying commercial. we have to talk to dad. >> it's sad to see the infrastructure crumble. he would do an amazing job with that. neil: there was a talk a while back that some in your family were concerned that he was going out on a limb, that he was embarrassing you guys with a talk. it's a distraction to the business, don't do it. >> i don't think that's true. we work together all the time. he's one of my best friends. neil: when he talks about the presidency, all you kids say, all right. >> yeah. he does it out of a place of passion. i see him every single day across a table like this. he's an incredible leader. neil: you guys say -- like i say i'll run for president, my kids say, really, dad, stick to the

prompter. if jeb bush steps in, would that dissuade your dad? >> i don't think so. neil: let's talk about new york and real estate. you know real estate better than any of us in this city. russia is in a workers' womp of trouble. they're in the top top end in trouble. >> not just the russians. a lot of people from asia, from china. a lot of people from central south america, a lot of those people coming into new york. obviously, new york is susceptible to russian money. the oil prices won't help that at all. neil: who takes their place? maybe asian money? the asian money is hiccupping. >> we'll see. you have to believe the

oil prices will be at the prices they're at forever. i'm not sure i necessarily believe that to be the case. neil: interesting. governor cuomo is getting set for what we're told is a low-key second inauguration. what do you guys think of him dealing with him. your father is critical of him on how slow he is on fracking. a lot of his screw-ups, your father is quite vocal about it. he has another four years. >> you're seeing many of the things coming to light at the end of the term. you're seeing the fracking coming up. announcements that will be made. it puzzles me. why are we always the last people to get into this game? listen, the -- why are we the ones to enter that last. you see texas, all these other states, why are we the last state to enter that again?

neil: it gets expensive with oil prices the way they are. people will rethink it -- >> the pipelines have been built in these other places. the structure is there. prices will fall. why are we the last people? we should be leaders as a state. why are we the last people? i think it's upsetting to him and to us. you see that in our taxes. we have some of the highest taxes in the nation. neil: don't get me going there. you're right about that. what do you guys think of mayor de blasio. a lot of people said they threw him under the bus, the police, it's a very scary and hostile environment. what do you think? >> it goes back to social issues. where is the president in all this? where is true leadership in this country? i think under many other presidents and many other leaders, this wouldn't happen. we have to stop. this isn't productive. it's not helping us as a country moving forward.

neil: do you have any interest in politics? let's say your dad is like joe kennedy and the brass ring is denied him. maybe not his sons. >> funny. my new wife always tells me, eric, you have to get into politics. you're vocal about this stuff, but you're passionate. neil: they say nice things. >> i think that's right. they butter you up a little bit. but, listen, i think we're all passionate. we're all patriots. my father loves this country more than anybody. if you go to any one of our golf courses, the first thing you see is the biggest american flag. neil: the whole side thing. but you're saying you would be open to politics down the road. >> yeah, possibly. right now our business is the number one thing. we're building the best hotels. the best golf courses. the best resorts. we have our hands full. we're having an absolute blast. we're passionate about the country. if we could see it steered in the right angle, we would go the

philanthropic angle. if we could help the country, we would all take a crack at it. neil: eric, great to see you. eric trump. trump organization. all right. coming up, call it racial coverage profiling, sometimes you just can't keep the president away. other times, you can't find him if you tried. could protect you from cancer?

what if one push up could prevent heart disease? one. wishful thinking, right? but there is one step you can take to help prevent another serious disease- pneumococcal pneumonia. one dose of the prevnar 13 ® vaccine can help protect you ... from pneumococcal pneumonia, an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. prevnar 13 is used in adults 50 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13 if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine.

common side effects were pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site. limited arm movement, fatigue, head ache muscle or joint pain, less appetite, chills, or rash. even if you've already been vaccinated with another pneumonia vaccine, prevnar 13 ® may help provide additional protection. get this one done. ask your healthcare professional about prevnar 13 ® today. they take us to worlds full of heroes and titans. for respawn, building the best teractive entertainment begins with the cloud. this is "titanfall," the first multi-player game built and run on microsoft azure. empowering gamers around the world to interact in ways they never thought possible. this cloud turns data into excitement. this is the microsoft cloud.

neil: it's time for neil's spiel. more like, what gives? a white house that goes full throttle on anything racial. oddly silent about sony emails that are racist. new york another separate probe. grand juries don't get it. the white house says enough of it. unless that sensitivity extends to hollywood moguls. let's say those at sony are a little different. let's say those top execs who email themselves at sony are a little different. that everyone from actor william smith to the president himself, know this bastion is off-limits. these racial slights are

off topic. that's not the weird part. even allowing for the double standard, you would think the white house would be all over the hack attack that exposed these and hop to. focus for a moment who got into these computers. they did it pretty easily and they've done it before. that's why this sony thing is particularly troubling. it is the biggest security breach to date, and it's as if the white house has gone radio silent and decided to ignore. to former home depot bob. be very afraid if for no other reason. we have our priorities mixed up. that's my big worry. >> there's no question, neil, i'm a lot older than you. i've never seen such dysfunctionalty in our country. when is the last time we talked about the national debt? the gdp? the jobs? fundamentals underpinning the

strength of this country. to your point, i'm not saying they're insignificant or they're not legitimate. when you run a company, you have to stay focused. you have to have a mission. you have to have purpose. and that's what i think we need to be focused on right now. i was with a large group of ceos this week, and the dysfunctionalty gives pause for a lot of ceos in 2015. neil: you have businesses to run, but you're accountable to a government that follows on how much you pay overtime to whom you pay overtime. who qualifies for overtime. who qualifies as a full-time or part-time worker. so you're distracted by events that go way beyond whatever the racial issue of the day is. >> even to the point doing a lot of work with m&a and private equity, the government is getting much more involved in telling you what you have to get rid of and giving the buyer more optionality as to what they want to buy

versus what we may want to sell as part of disintermediateiation and spins. we're seeing more and more involvement in business relative to how we should run, what they'll approve, what the department of justice will approve or not approve on a lot of mergers and acquisitions. neil: you inherited very sick companies. i think your priority was making sure shareholders kept jobs protected. that was your focus. others would bring other esoteric issues, but you kept your eye on the ball. people can agree or disagree on the focus, but never on the mission statement. here, i'm not sure what the mission statement is or what we're in store for in the next two years. >> it's scary when you think about the potential counterattacks because of the hacking. neil: that's very scary.

>> it's hollywood. neil: look how easily it was done. that's what worries me. >> well, all these hacks, whether it was target, my former company home depot, and now sony, sony is a great company, great reputation. set aside the emails, that's hollywood. neil: do you think jobs should be lost because of what people wrote each other internally. >> if everyone's email were exposed, we'd all have chaos. neil: although, that will likely happen. >> yes. neil: but i worry more about what precipitated the hacking and who was behind it. >> i don't know if it was true, if a preview of the film was sent to north korea to get their approval before they released. you and i mere mortals have to wait for the premiere to see it. right? neil: i would think that un would like the fact that the actor was much thinner than he was. >> probably not. hacking is a big problem. cyber, our cyber attacks

and so forth, big issue. we have to be working that. to your point, let's get back to priorities. of reestablishing the united states as a strength. competitor among nations. and really a global leader. neil: yeah. one of the great gentleman in american business. even though he says he's much older. did the taliban just up the ante because isis was getting the attention? when evil trumps, why aren't we trying to ♪ they are a glowing example of what it means to be the best. and at this special time of year, they shine even brighter. come to the winter event and get the mercedes-benz you've always wished for, now for an exceptional price.

neil: check out pakistan where the taliban just took out 140 mostly kids, kids whose only crime today was showing up for school. to retired army general boskel to school us on

our priorities. we have it ass backwards here. pardon my language. what are we doing? >> it's very interesting when this horrible tragedy occurred. just yesterday, the president of the united states told 3,000 returning soldiers that they're joining or becoming part of a leaner military force. leaner means smaller. he also said, but you'll be better trained and better equipped. and every soldier in that audience knew that was absolutely untrue. while the united states of the west basically begins the slow process of disarming themselves. young men throughout the middle east who are emboldened by what they see in pakistan and boko har emand al and all the other things going on in the world. this is a fight and the united states is backing away from it. a year from now, we'll

be gone from afghanistan. god only knows what will happen in afghanistan, neil. neil: in conversations like these, i'll hear it from viewers, normally those who are slipping to msnbc, neil, you sound like you're far torture. no, i'm anti-far worse torture that precipitated our response, that is 9/11. and to this day, those cutting off westerners heads and killing kids. that torture trumps whatever rectal feeding and whatever else they're saying is going on. i think we get so distracted that we lose sight of the very, very real evil and the far greater torture going on in the world. >> in our country, we have this problem of what's called culture relativism. the enemy may be horrible and brutal. hitler may have killed 55 million people. but we bombed dresden.

neil: that's an excellent point. no sense of relativity. >> so we blame ourselves for minor transgressions. and we let tyrants like hitler and these wackos in the middle east get away with this. and our academics and intellectuals treat them as equals. neil: forget what precipitated this. this is born of horror. general, you get right to the heart of the matter. i thank you, sir, very much. >> thank you, neil. neil: they were just doing their job. police in australia prevented what could have been mass carnage, refusing to pat themselves on the back. that's kind of how police roll whether down under in australia or up north in iowa. or just last week in new york trying to keep calm. well, my biz pals see everyone else losing a sense of calm. it makes you think,

doesn't it. >> it sure does. if you haven't made a charitable contribution to your fire department or police department, they run into the line of fire every single time to save our lives. we don't even know them. these people did it so graciously. they don't want accolades. they want sydney to get on with it. i feel it's so different here. everyone wants a pat on the back. no one wants to give our police credit. neil: what hit me, and i think no group is perfect. some people think, you know, all tv anchors are idiots. anyway, that we lose sight of something more basic. these policemen protected the protesters who were chanting kill cops. >> right. neil: that, to me, was a weird snapshot right there. >> right. because they're protecting them. these protesters are cursing at them. throwing stuff at them.

the protesters got injured. they have to stand there and help them. you can disagree with them. but do it respectfully. these guys running into buildings when people are running out. these are the people we need to respect. they do a lot for our society and uphold the rule of law. neil: i wonder where we're going. now we have tense relations between law enforcement and the mayor of this city. but growing questions as to whether law enforcement, period, is looking after all races equally. and that scares me because then it breeds distrust. >> i agree 100%. can law enforcement, neil, enforce the law and not be prosecuted for it? that's one of the issues. other media, certainly not here, has taken a few bad apples and said, oh, the whole bunch must be bad. so, yes, mr. and

mrs. protester make life hard for them. don't obey them because you don't have to. another point you brought up is very important. the way that some younger folk view the police is an extension of their local government to which they have massive distrust and certainly a lot of distaste for. they look at the police as an extension of that. if we don't like our local government, we don't like the police either and won't respect them. neil: if i'm a cop and afraid about being sued and thrown out of work, i'll hold back on every demonstration. >> or you're going to quit and not want it to be your career. it's like doctors in obamacare. that's the last thing we want. qualified people to walk away from their job because they get no respect. neil: to shea for bringing obamacare into this.

neil: hey, all you smokers, you

are so smoked. voters in arizona's county deciding on a measure to ban any new smokers who vote and to charge present workers who do another 30% to their health care coverage if they don't stop. can they do that? nicole says, yes, they can. nicole, you think they can. why? >> arizona is an employment at will state. they can terminate whoever they want to terminate. as long as they're not using a constitutionally protected class as their guide for doing so. in other words, as long as it's not based on gender or race, they can make these rules. neil: what do you think? >> nicole is right when it comes to employment discrimination. they have to be careful with employment privacy. when any employer is looking at what you're doing outside of work. you're talking about a slippery slope. people who are obese. people who are -- neil: you had to start with

obese thing. >> if biking is dangerous, what about people that bike? skiing? any number of things -- neil: you raised a good point, not bad for a lawyer. today it's smoking. tomorrow it will be the obese. someone who will check to make sure, like an insurance company when you say you don't smoke and not eating all the dangerous stuff, you're doing as you said you're doing. in other words, someone is spying on you. nicole. >> the problem is they'll be using what they see at work. they have the right to use that information to decide whether or not -- neil: what if they're just doing it at home. according to this law, they're breaking that law. >> and they can fire them. no reason that they can -- >> not just looking what they can do at work. they're testing people, giving them a drug test for nicotine. neil: so there's a test that can say whether you're currently smoking. >> that's right. it's very arbitrary. they're allowing for the e-cigarettes --

i'm sorry not for the e-cigarettes. but the lozenges. these privacy laws are important. in fact, in a lot of states, this is actually outlawed. i think it's a slippery slope. arizona wants to be careful. >> i don't think it's a problem at all. neil: you say it's not a problem at all. others feel it is the start of an invasion in other areas. you think that can be handled how. >> you don't have to work for the employer that is asking you not to smoke. the law says they can choose the type of worker that they want to hire. if they don't want to hire smokers, they don't have to. if you don't want work there, you can smoke away. >> we're talking apples and oranges. we're not saying this is discrimination. we're not saying it's wrongful termination. it's an invasion of privacy to ask what people are doing on their weekends. we can get into issues with stds, diabetes, all these less than healthy lifestyle choices you're

making outside of your health care hours. neil: i'm with her. then i give her, i'm with her. that's what's great about you guys. thank you very much. which is my way of saying, i don't know how the hell i feel. can sinking oil also sink your retirement? if oil keeps dropping, you can kiss the villages goodbye.

neil: in tonight's biz blitz, be careful what you wish for especially when it comes to tumbling oil prices. though stabilizing today. the price of a barrel of oil is back to what it

was five years ago. good for your car. not necessarily for your 401(k). maybe most folks don't realize, but energy stocks are a big part of our 401(k)s, of our markets. >> they are. and they're a big part of the global economy which are funds in your 401(k). the s&p 500 we think are american companies. the irony is, 50% of their revenues come from overseas. so as the overseas markets get hit by oil, that hits our 401(k)s. and although gasoline is down, we may spend more. that offsets the losses -- >> i don't know. i can play the other side. boeing increasing their dividends today. sign of good news to come. economic data has been okay. i think people are starting to bite in at the bottom. maybe small, not so fat santa claus rally. >> we've had overall a great year. for people to complain, if you're looking at your 401(k), there's a good chance it's up double digits.

neil: it's probably up double digits. thanks for playing with my idea. fed up with the feds. when it comes to the millennials, young people not too keen on government work which could explain the share of federal workers under 30 is 70%. that is the youngest amount in a decade. >> young people are entrepreneurial. they want to start their own businesses. the younger generation has been forced to do more because the job market has not been what other people have graduated into. i think they want to move up at their own pace. they want to make decisions at their own pace. they're not waiting for these bigger organizations to tell them when they're ready. they know when they're ready. if you're going to deal with the bureaucracy, it's the opposite of all that. neil: i might point out, not easy reading a prompter. that will shrink the

pool of qualified people in the government and draw away the type of talent you want in the government. right? >> well, obama would tell you reading a prompter is very easy, neil. neil: touche, yes. >> is the government getting stupider? could government get worse? i tell you what's funny, we hate these social media apps or social network applications. like tinder. neil: i know what you're talking about. absolutely. can't stand it. >> teaching these kids, guess what, you can come up with cool ideas. make money. you don't have to work for the government no matter how cool the administration tells you it is. neil: i got you going. on issue three, people every one of you, slow down. this is what happens when you're in a rush. you crash and send packages flying. now the driver is fine. i do not know about those packages. but, tracy, really?

>> ten minutes from my home. i will guarantee you i got at least -- neil: one of those packages are yours. >> that's see you later christmas. something broke. it's all right. neil: we're all right. yesterday was the biggest day for fedex and ups. today, for the post office. >> everyone is texting. there's accidents all over the place. i think the holiday came too fast. i will blame the holiday for half of this. we need to slow down. neil: we're always rushing, rushing. >> and these drivers are under pressure to get all these packages to all these places. i feel bad for these guys. neil: i love the ups guy by me, he keeps the truck going as he gets out. he doesn't put it in park. keeps going. does a u-y on the lawn. you can see the pell-mell rush, the pressure on everybody. it's like we're losing the meaning of the

season. there's my wife. all right. >> get in the back. one of the best things about the holiday season has been retail sales which are down this year. the best thing about this accident, again, provided no humans or animals got hurt, this is the perfect excuse for my family when the gifts don't come in time. neil: that's your box. at the bottom. >> jesus didn't intend for this to be this way. neil: how do you know? >> he's not saying get your butt on amazon and order your kids gift today. neil: like you know for sure. if he could overnight his message to anyone anywhere. that's exactly -- i'm also going to hell besides getting fired. i want to thank all of you. remember when bo was calling this guy mayor big word. maybe it's because this mayor keeps ruffling feathers. i have to tell you, he just started ruffling the wrong feathers.

it's one thing to have bo made at you. it's quite another to have the whole new york police departmen

neil: what's the deal, neil? what'sly deal with the new york mayor that won't stand with his place. bill de blasio can't stop harping on about cops whether talking about centuries long racism. or welcoming attorney general into the choke all while accepting counsel from al sharpton, that was enough for nypd union chief who told me the mayor threw cops under the bus and the president of sergeant's benevolent association calling de blasio a nincompoop. i have never seen relations so bad. jim via yahoo! neil, the nypd

should call out sick, maybe the mayor would appreciate what a great job they do. not a bad idea. cop's lives matter, black and white. yes, they do. neil, what would it take to recall that idiot you new yorkers call a mayor? paul, everybody calm down, the mayor isn't throwing anyone under the bus, there is blatant racism in the minority targeting the new york police department. really paul? would this be the same new york police department that 60% minority, the same one in which the commanding officer in that infamous chokehold incident was an african-american sergeant. the same group of brave men and women of all races who had to endure calls for kill the cops from protesters whose lives they were trying to protect? that police department? you're an idiot. lester as a former cop i admire how you choose to not swim in the same lame stream media pool that loves to raise its hands

but fails to do homework. you can bet your sweet bumpy, i appreciate cops, theirs is a thankless job. tom, i don't doubt there are cops that are overdo it just like there are bad apples in any ethnic group. for the mayor to take sides and ignore decades in the name of centuries of racism, that is not right. no, it isn't. criticizing all cops is like saying tv anchors are all idiots with bad hair. you left out fake hair, though, so, one out of three i'm on my way. where does it is a the mayor of a city has to be blindly loyal to cops who screw up in the ci? jahat' t se pce w sayse shldn' bndhrow e cs underheus lie, wve had two incidents where the attorney general and the president have not liked local grand jury decisions and

decided to big foot them and take matters into their own hands to get the decision they like. that's what frightens me, and i agree that's what's most frightening here. government overreach to predetermine its own conclusion. cavuto, you're so stupid, you make my head hurt. al, you're amatter. so the mayor's a socialist, you're an ass. socialist wins, don, you're an imbecile, you lose. and tweets good show, nice hair cut is today year book photo retake day? with all the awful things people are saying about me, that is mild by comparison. but no, it was not year book retake photo day. that's tomorrow. go to facebook.com/team cavuto. give me your thoughts about everything and anything, we read them all. if you are lucky, we will put them on the show.

my staff likes the nasty ones, i'm going take over this whole thing and decide who airs. here's a hint, you call me thin, compelling, genius, you're in. see you tomorrow. kennedy: are you going to the movies this christmas? someone is getting americans into a lather of threats to blow up theaters showing "the interview." the sony e-mail hack comically unnerving enough but using a digital target as a prelude to something more sinister? effective. unchecked bureaucracies using constant stream of fear to keep you scared and controlled. worried about terrorism? big brother will handle it. do you denounce terrorism? with circular logic like that, easy to stay frustrated and scared. that's no way to go through life. even if you made a movie so
